That's why I am interested to see what comes from the bandwidth auction that was held.
A lot of people I talk to expect a new company to come in (i.e. Verizon) and bring in crazy plans that you see in the US right now, but my first question to all of those people is "Why would they do that? They can jack customers just like every other company does in one way or another, why would they GIVE UP profit?"
The only answer I get is "so they can have customers!" to which I promptly reply "You're telling me that they won't get any of the customers in Canada who will change just for the sake of getting away from the Big 3?"
